Great reaction. This song was a massive success and dominated the charts in 2020. It broke the all time record for the longest charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 with 90 weeks. You should definitely react to more Weeknd. He’s super talented.

Nice reaction. The album that this video comes from tells a story of self-destructive behavior that is very personal to The Weeknd. The COVID pandemic is a total coincidence as far as I know. The lyrics can be about a woman that he's longing for, but they can also be about drugs. He's trying to quit but feels cold and empty without them. When he's high, it feels like he's the only person in the world, and the crazy driving is a metaphor for his emotional state until he makes enough trouble that the bouncers kick him out, a metaphor for the crash that comes after the high. At least that's the interpretation that I heard.

I think you guys would love his other hits too! This is from his album “After Hours”. He released a few music videos for this album and they are all connected to each other. You should listen to “Heartless” by The Weeknd next because that music video is supposed to precede “Blinding Lights” as far as the story line

would love if you react to more of the weeknd. as some other comments mention, his song 'heartless', 'after hours' and 'in your eyes' are very fascinating to listen to and interpret, and the music videos are overall linked- making it fun to try to understand the sequence of events. 'in your eyes' definitely has an 80s vibe, similar to blinding lights, and there's also a remixed version featuring doja cat

About the thing "everything is empty", it was actually cleared out for the music video. They began producing this music video in late 2019 or at the start of 2020 just sometime before the virus spread towards the United States And about the lyric line "Sin city's cold and empty" I think it would mean he predicted that the Covid-19 would cause lockdowns and make most cities and towns cold and empty, looks like it.
